We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good
environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner.
We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact
and continually improving our environmental performance as an
integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and
operating methods.
It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all
business associates to do the same. Not only is this sound
commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our
duty of care towards future generations.
Our policy is to
- Wholly support and comply with or exceed the requirements of
current environmental legislation and codes of practice.
- Minimise our waste and then reuse or recycle as much of it as
possible.
- Minimise energy and water usage in our buildings, vehicles and
processes in order to conserve supplies, and minimise our
consumption of natural resources, especially where they are
non-renewable.
- Operate and maintain company vehicles with due regard to
environmental issues as far as reasonably practical and encourage
the use of alternative means of transport and car sharing as
appropriate.
- Apply the principles of continuous improvement in respect of
air, water, noise and light pollution from our premises and reduce
any impacts from our operations on the environment and local
community.
- As far as possible purchase products and services that do the
least damage to the environment and encourage others to do the
same.
- Assess the environmental impact of any new processes or
products we intend to introduce in advance.
- Ensure that all employees understand our environmental policy
and confirm to the high standards it required.
- Address complaints about any breach of our Environmental Policy
promptly and to the satisfaction of all concerned.
- Update, our Environmental Policy annually in consultation with
staff, associates and customers.
